Stamping Coverage Attributes

The Stamping Coverage Attributes dialog will appear when creating a new stamping coverage. It can also be reached by right-clicking on the stamping coverage and selecting the Properties command.

• Underlying Geometry – This section contains options for defining the scatter set used in the stamping process.
  • Use cutoff – Stamped features can be cut off where they intersect with a terrain surface dataset. Turn on this option to see available scatter sets can be selected from the data tree once this option is enabled. The scatter set will act as a surface to determine the cut off for the sloped banks of a stamped feature.
  • Bathymetry Type –
    • "Elevation" – The default option. Defines positive values as going up.
    • "Depth" – Defines positive values as going down.
